City of Refuge

CITY OF REFUGE Is a Christian community located in downtown San Diego. We have been serving low-income families and individuals for 18 years. We distribute nearly 70,000 pounds of food a month to hungry San Diegans. This happens through three weekly food distributions. We host weekly youth nights for the neighborhood kids and teenagers, which has led to lasting relationships. When school is out for the summer, we are able to offer an all-day, free summer camp. Daily, we use our own porches as distribution centers of necessary items such as clothing, hygiene products and diapers. Every week, we visit with those who live on the streets of Downtown. Because of these weekly visits various folks who were homeless have come to live and work in our community. We also shelter women and children in one of our community homes.
